So I thought it would be appropriate for my first post here to share my daughter’s foray into assemblage dolls. First, a little background. My daughter, Jessica, is 4 years old and the youngest of two (her sister Alex is 7). They’ve both seen me making art dolls for quite some time now and played with some of my dolls, with and without permission. Both of my chidren think that if anything breaks, it’s ok because Mommy can fix it with glue.

One afternoon, while I was working on one of my Etsy shops, Jessica came into my office with her stuffed bunny rabbit sporting a new “head.” A pumpkin head, in fact, which was the plastic pumpkin that she’d taken off of a Halloween flashlight Grandma had given her recently. Yes, I felt a moment of pride before dissolving into laughter since my daughter had actually made her first assemblage doll!

I have no idea why she felt the need to do bunny ears behind the bunny rabbit, but I had to share the second picture because she’s just too darn cute.
